Psychosomatic Medicine

Objective:

The underlying changes
in biological processes
that are associated with
reported changes in

mental and physical health

in response to meditation
have not been systematically explored.

We performed a randomized,
controlled study on the

effects on brain

and immune function

of a well-known and widely used
8-week clinical training program

in meditation applied in a
work environment
with healthy employees.

Methods:

We measured
brain electrical activity

before and immediately after,
and then 4 months after
an 8-week training
program in meditation.

Twenty-five subjects were tested
in the meditation group.

A wait-list control group was tested
at the same points in time
as the meditators.

At the end of the 8-week period,
subjects in both groups were
vaccinated with influenza vaccine.

Results:

We report for the first time
significant increases in

left-sided anterior activation,
a pattern previously associated

with positive affect,
in the meditators

compared with the nonmeditators.

We also found
significant increases
in antibody titers

to influenza vaccine
among subjects in the
meditation compared with
those in the wait-list control group.

Finally, the magnitude of increase
in left-sided activation predicted
the magnitude of antibody titer
rise to the vaccine.

Conclusions:

These findings demonstrate
that a short program in meditation
produces demonstrable effects

on brain

and immune function.

These findings suggest that
meditation may change brain
and immune function in
positive ways.
